Final: Grizzlies 92, Spurs 90

The Spurs held on as long as they could, leading from late in the first quarter until Mike Conley’s driving layup with 0.6 seconds remaining gave Memphis one of its patented “Grit-and-Grind” victories.

Conley scored 11 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter, including the game-tying 3-pointer with 30 seconds remaining. Tony Parker missed a mid-range jumper on the ensuing possession to set up Conley’s game-winner. Memphis, which won its 12th straight home game, hadn’t led since 18-16 in the first quarter.

The Spurs’ lead over Oklahoma City atop the Western Conference fell to one game. The two teams meet in Oklahoma City on Thursday. It was the sixth straight Spurs game to come down to the final shot of regulation.

Parker led all scorers with 25 points in the absence of Tim Duncan, Kawhi Leonard and Manu Ginobili.

Third quarter: Spurs 68, Grizzlies 62

No matter what the Grizzlies throw at them, the Spurs have an answer.

Even though the All-Star frontcourt tandem of Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol finally woke up with a combined 18 points, the Spurs maintained a solid lead.

Tony Parker is up to 18 points, and the Spurs are outrebounding Memphis 33-30.

Halftime: Spurs 44, Grizzlies 37

Where was this energy last night?

Despite the absences of Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Kawhi Leonard, the Spurs are outplaying the Grizzlies at both ends of the court. They used 8-2 and 9-2 runs in the second quarter to lead by seven at halftime.

The Spurs are moving the ball well, earning 15 assists on their 18 made baskets while shooting 48.6 percent from the floor. Tony Parker has 12 points, and DeJuan Blair led a spirited effort by the bench with six points, three rebounds and three assists. Tiago Splitter is halfway to one of his best games with nine points and eight rebounds.

Mike Conley is shooting 5 for 7 for 10 points. The rest of the Grizzlies are 8 for 34. Zach Randolph, a key factor in the Grizzlies’ first-round upset two seasons ago, has two points on 1-for-6 shooting.

First quarter: Spurs 21, Grizzlies 21

The Spurs got off to a sluggish start in Memphis without Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Kawhi Leonard, missing their first eight shots to fall behind 10-1.

But their bench — which has been slumping recently — chipped in with 10 early points to pull the Spurs back in front by two before Jerryd Bayless knotted the score with a buzzer-beating jumper.
